Poster Mania: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Godzilla, and More

Hello and welcome to this week’s Poster Mania. I’ll have posters for movies that all come out next year, including blockbuster-like movies like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Godzilla, and Edge of Tomorrow. Also, similar-looking posters for 300: Rise of an Empire and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For released. Finally, I have new ones for 3 Days to Kill and About Last Night.

Check them all out below!

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Four “character” posters came out for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in front of the first trailer (set to release in the next couple days). I say “character” because they don’t show off humans, and instead show off the apes. Caesar (Andy Serkis) is the most prominent ape featured in the gallery below. The movie is directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and stars Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) and Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises). It’ll hit theaters July 11, 2014. (Source: Comingsoon)

Godzilla

With the fantastic first trailer for Godzilla came a new poster. It plays up the intro of the trailer (with the parachuters), so you don’t really get a good glimpse of the actual monster. Personally, Godzilla shot up my 2014 expectation list when I first saw the trailer, so I still love the poster for Gareth Edwards’ (Monsters) film. To make things even better, Brian Cranston (AMC’s Breaking Bad) stars in the movie that is set to release May 16, 2014. (Source: Cinema Blend)

Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow also released a poster with their trailer this past week. The sci-fi pic stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt (Looper), who are both featured above. Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) directs the movie which is set to release on June 6, 2014. (Source: Collider)

300: Rise of an Empire

Noam Murro’s 300: Rise of an Empire released a character poster, too. The latest 300 movie stars Sullivan Stapleton (Gangster Squad) and Eva Green (Dark Shadows), but the poster features returner Lena Headey. Rise of an Empire releases on March 7, 2014. (Source: Cinema Blend)

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

The next sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, also released a poster. Both comic writer Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) are credited as directors. The movie won’t release until August 22, 2014, so plenty more will release for the film that stars Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Josh Brolin, and more. Keep your eyes open for more. (Source: Yahoo)

3 Days Kill For

McG’s (Terminator Salvation) latest film (titled 3 Days to Kill) debuted a new poster highlighting star Kevin Costner (Man of Steel). Amber Heard (The Rum Diary) and Hailee Steinfeld (Ender’s Game) are also listed in the French crime thriller. It’ll hit U.S. theaters February 21, 2014. (Source: Yahoo)

About Last Night

Finally, I thought I’d attach the latest poster for the lone comedy in this week’s rendition. The poster is for About Last Night – a movie that stars Kevin Hart (Think Like a Man) and Regina Hall (The Best Man). Steve Pink (Hot Tub Time Machine) directs the film that’ll land in theaters a week before 3 Days to Kill (on February 14, 2014). (Source: IMP Awards)

Jordan, who currently resides in Seattle, WA, has slowly become a film fanatic over the past couple of years. He attributes his love for film to the smash hit THE DARK KNIGHT which has created an (un)healthy obsession with both Christopher Nolan and the Batman franchise. Although he appreciates all genres of film, his favorite movies are typically psychological thrillers, with an emphasis on non-traditional narratives.
